Ia Man Killed While Stealing n
Frugal Meal.
BNGHAMToN, N. Y, June 5.-Lester
Clark, a clerk of Smith & Webster,
general dealers, at Ninevah, shot and
killed a supposed burglar early yes
terday morning. In the store is an
electric alarm that runs to Mr.. Smiths
house, where Clark also lives. When
it sounded an alarm Clark jumped
out of bed, dressed himself, and
seizing a double barreled shotgun,
hurried to the store. Clark saw a
man in the store helping himself to
cheese and crackers, and raising the
gun he deliberately fired at the intru-
der, emptying twelve buchshot into
his stomach. The man staggered back
exclaiming My time has come" and
was dead in five minutes. He is not
known in that locality and has not
been identified. He was about 80
years of age, tall and wore a gray
beard, and was seen about the village
on Saturday last cutting wood for his
meals. 1t looks as if his object in en-
tering the store was simply to procure
something to eat. The Coroner is
endeavoring to establish his identity.

as a private soldier, accompanied by a
comrade named Williams. He de-

and finally drifted back to San An
tonia, where he was arrested on a
charge of desertion and turned over to

~fession Reed admitted his identity with
the murder of Block, which he had
strenuously denied. The Government
officers attach no blame to the detail

Killed HIS Mistress and Himself
PHILADELPHIA, June 5.-Robert G..
Hall shot and killed Mrs. Lillian
Rivers this morning. The couple
were living as man and wife under
the name of Burton. Mrs. Rivers was
the wife of James w. Rivers, an actor
known in the profession as James
Reynolds. A remarkable coincidence
with the present tragedy was the at
tempt of Rivers to take Mrs.
Rivers life on April 10 for keeping
company with tbs man Hall, who to-
day succeeded in doing what Rivers
had attempted two months ago. After
the shooting of Mrs. Rivers, Hall cut
her throat and then cut his own, and
is now lying at the point of death.
Hall is a poet and an actor, but has
not been very successful in either pro-
fession. jealousy was probably the
motive for the tragedy.
